It's 4 °F today here in Detroit. My furnace blower motor burned out this morning. The repair man just left an hour ago.

well, where I am, Brookings, SD, it's -6 F right now with a wind chill of -24 F.

Tonight the actual temperature is supposed to be -24 F with the wind chill on top of that. Good thing I don't have class until 10 AM tomorrow.

One year ago today it was 55 F. I'm pretty sure I rode my Harley about once a week all last winter.

7F, wind chill -10F. That looks like the high for today, then a forecast of 4F tonight, with higher winds, and 6-10" of snow, with another 6-10" tomorrow.

If I remember correctly it will freeze immediately upon hitting the snow around -60F and freeze in mid-air around -80 F

Damn that's too cold.. I wonder how cold if you spit upwards and gave it a litle more time to freeze? Chicago people test this out tonight.
